Regardless of how the battle between Zhang Zhongwu and Gao Biao is, or whether Zhenzhou Suning will make some trouble, now Li Ze has no time and energy to interfere, and he is now concentrating his full energy and preparing to launch the final fatal blow against Henghai.

After the autumn harvest, the grain has been put into storage, the taxes have been collected, and now he can be said to be a well-equipped soldier, and a series of military victories in the early stage have made the Wuyi soldiers very popular. Even the original Yizhou army, which arrived in Wuyi later, is now screaming with red eyes and asking for battle, and the Wuyi army has attacked several times, and everyone has made a fortune, which also stimulates these people to be unable to help themselves.

Who are the richest people in Wuyi right now? Of course, it was the Wuyi soldiers who participated in the previous military operations, everyone built a bright and spacious tiled house at home, bought dozens of acres of land, and the local youth of Wuyi became a sought-after commodity, and during the autumn harvest, Wuyi also set off a marriage frenzy, and a large number of Wuyi soldiers married daughters-in-law. And the daughters-in-law they married were basically women who migrated from Texas.

Everyone has a beautiful vision of living a happy and beautiful life without worrying about the seven things that open the door, these young people in Wuyi now have money, houses, and land, which families with daughters are naturally willing to marry their daughters, such people, when they were in Texas before, they couldn't think of it. Besides, after marrying a Wuyi soldier, his family can be regarded as having a reliance here, so that he will no longer be bullied by the locals.

No matter how Li Ze repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed, how to make Texans like Hou Zhen become the county commanders of Wuyi, and recruited a large number of Texas scholars to enter Wuyi, Xindu, and Shiyi as officials, but such incidents can never be avoided, and this is the most serious in Xindu. For such a thing, Li Ze is also helpless. Xindu was once ravaged by the Texas Army, and now there is resentment, which is understandable.

So now there is such an upsurge of intermarriage, and Li Ze is happy to see it. With marriage as a bond, these places will quickly build a new foundation of relationships, which will be beneficial to the reconciliation of the people on both sides.

As for whether those young Texans can talk about their daughters-in-law now, Li Ze doesn't care. If you want to live a good life, then take out the real original, go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, and if you make meritorious contributions, you will naturally be rewarded, and you will naturally be like the current Wuyi soldiers, who will be promoted to become rich, marry beautiful women, and walk to the pinnacle of life.

In fact, it's not just Texas that is young and strong, but the former Yizhou Army, so why not be red? Although Yizhou is rich, most of the ordinary soldiers are barely able to get by, the soldiers are a little better, and the soldiers are still just asking for food and clothing. At the end of the year, after paying the taxes and having enough food for the family to eat, it is a heavenly day for them. Compared to other states and counties, they are already very happy.

But when I arrived in Wuyi, I found that life was not just about asking for food and clothing, but also about living such a delicious life. With the Wuyi army as a comparison, everyone has the idea that he can and I can naturally do it.

The people of Wuyi got rich first, but they just entrusted the little prince's hidden residence here. Now that he is also a subordinate of the little boy, the little boy will naturally treat everyone equally, as long as he makes contributions, he will naturally get something.

In fact, Wuyi's life suddenly improved, and although the proceeds of the war accounted for the largest share of it, Li Ze's various policies in Wuyi, Xindu and other places were also indispensable, such as the land-based tax policy, the three-three system of tenancy policy, the planned economy of unified purchase and sales, and the strong regulation and control of prices, all of which were one of the reasons for the take-off of Wuyi Xindu, but these policies were covered up by the dividends of the war.

Ordinary people may not be able to see this, but those people of insight, officials, gentry, and clans in Yizhou will not be able to see it. In Yizhou, there are not many people who oppose Li Ze's policies, but in the current situation, they can only endure it.

In the final analysis, many of Li Yi's policies are trying to weaken the local tycoons' control over the local area. Among them, the biggest blow to local tycoons is the land-based tax policy.

The progressive system of land taxation made the local tycoons who owned a large amount of land miserable, and the tenancy policy of the three-three system frustrated their hopes of converting the taxes to the common people, and the peasants who rented land did not need to pay the land tax, but only had to bear the burden of forced labor.

Li Ze didn't care about the grievances of these local wealthy clans at all. Wuyi, the place where he is based, now there is no wealthy family at all, and the same is true of Xindu, and Shiyi, after Shen Congxing passed, also divided the local wealthy family by three times and divided by two, and the honest ones were naturally included in Li Ze's big family to enjoy the warmth, dishonest, sorry, a hat of a traitor across the sea will fall from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, these local wealthy families will become destitute people who have nothing. In Shiyi, with the cooperation of the Liu family, Shen Congxing was extremely ruthless.

The foundation is safe, and Li Ze will naturally dig into the corners of those wealthy families in Yizhou. The tax system was his most powerful means of winning over the poor, and these landless poor people who did not have to pay taxes would naturally become Li Ze's allies, and the tenant policy of the three-three system allowed them to see an infinite bright future. At the end of the year, no matter what the harvest is, the tenant rent handed over to the landlord is 30% of the current year, and the remaining 70% belongs to them. This allows them to have a lot of surplus while ensuring that they can eat enough, and after a few years of hard work, they may be able to buy some land that they can pass on to their children and grandchildren. You must know that except for Wuyi, Xindu and other places, the overall land price in Yizhou is now in a declining stage. Moreover, now that Li Ze is using troops abroad, a large number of underground soldiers are being recruited, as long as he can return safely from the battlefield, he will inevitably gain something, and the matter of buying land will naturally be more hopeful.

Wuyi Xindu rose because almost all the rich people who migrated from Texas were settled in these two places, and the last ones handed over to Cao Xin, although there were many young and strong, they basically belonged to the extreme poverty class. No matter how low the price of land is, it is basically a fantasy for them to be able to afford land now, and some of them do not even have a decent piece of clothing.

Therefore, those who now support Li Ze's use of troops abroad, and the most enthusiastic belong to these destitute strata. They hope to change their current embarrassing life through the means of war. And the local tyrants also hope that Li Ze will use troops abroad, if he fails, then his dominance over the local will inevitably decline, his prestige will be lost, and they will have room to exert their hands and feet.

After all the factors are combined, the current Yizhou has fallen into a frenzied war atmosphere, from officials to civilians, and everyone shouts and beats Henghai. They all fervently want to be a part of this war.

Recruiting government soldiers doesn't just have to be your age. In addition to having a good body, you also have to meet many other conditions, such as not smoking.

Li Ze got the entire Texas people to Yizhou, which almost doubled the number of people in Yizhou, but this war, Li Ze didn't want to engage in any large-scale corps, the more troops there were, the greater the logistical pressure, and it was not that the more troops, the battle would be won and undefeated. Just like this time when the cross-sea expedition against Liu Chenglin, 5,000 armor soldiers and 30,000 government soldiers were beaten by Liu Chenglin's 1,000 armor soldiers and Li Ze's 2,000 cavalry, and finally had to retreat.

There are too many layers involved in winning the war.

Li Ze was only going to use 8,000 armor soldiers and 20,000 soldiers this time.

The war should be dominated by armor, which is the consensus of Li Ze, Cao Xin and the officers under his command. Li Ze now has 3,000 armor soldiers under his command, and Cao Xin poured everything he had and took out 5,000 armor soldiers. The task of 20,000 government soldiers is more of a suppression at the strategic level and being responsible for logistics and supply, cleaning up the battlefield after the war, and controlling the local area.

Li Ze doesn't care about the Yizhou wealthy family, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to them. In fact, the influence and strength of the local wealthy families are still obvious to all, these people not only have money, land, but also people. Although the ordinary people they control are being hollowed out by Li Ze's series of means, what is more important for them is their family children, who can really be called the elite of this era, they have been educated since childhood, there is the Tang Dynasty, such children are basically both civil and military, if these people can really return to their hearts, for Li Ze, it is actually a kind of help.

So in addition to suppression, Li Ze of course has to give them another way out. Therefore, Li Ze's pro-Wei Yi has expanded again. The number of people rose from 600 to 1,000 at once, and the extra 400 people were the children of local wealthy families, wealthy families, and official families recruited from other places in Yizhou.

Becoming Li Ze's pro-Wei Yi Cong, of course, there will be more opportunities to be rewarded for meritorious service, and once he is sent out from the pro-Wei Yi Cong, he will inevitably stand alone, which can be seen from Tu Lichun, Shen Congxing, Chen Bing, Chu Sheng, and even Li Hao, Li Han, Li De and others.

The means of hitting and pulling, Li Ze is extremely skillful in use.

Li Ze and Cao Xin stood outside the window, quietly listening to a man in the house foaming at the mouth and preaching the purpose and policies of the Yixing Society to the pro-Wei Yicong below.

This man's name is Cao Zhang, and he is the son of Cao Xin.

This candidate is wonderful, those new righteous followers may still have resistance to others, but for Cao Zhang, there is no resistance, because Cao Zhang has been their little master for one or two decades. So when Cao Zhang stood on the stage, he immediately lifted his spirits. At this point, even Yang Kai, the current highest person in charge of the Yixing Society, can't do this, because his background is not high, and the following righteous servants, who don't know his details?

"Cao Zhang spoke very well!" After listening for a moment, Li Ze said to Cao Xin with satisfaction.
